Chapter 27: Azure Waiting for Smoke and Rain, and I'm Waiting for You (Ask for Follow-up)
Zhuo County Long Street, ten miles of fragrance.
Sanxiang's famous "Happy Noodles" is located in the stall opposite the Tianqing Building on Long Street, and 100 bowls are in short supply every day, and people from Daijun often come to taste it early.
Since ancient times, it has the reputation of 'happy noodles on both sides of the Zhuojiang River, and the sound of waves in a county'.
Whew~, the rising heat, the noodles as thin as hair are rolled in the soup, a few green onions loom, the minced meat and the fruit pieces are mixed and stirred, the entrance is sweet and fragrant, Xiang Ji leaned on the wooden stake hanging on the dragon and tiger list, drank the soup in a big gulp, and looked up to clean the noodles and minced meat, and spewed out a stream of hot air from his mouth.
"Happy noodles, really happy to eat."
He opened his mouth and sucked, the last bit of soup was not left, he wiped his mouth contentedly, sighed, the soup base has a sweet aftertaste, and there are more finely chopped fruit pieces to relieve greasy, a bowl of belly is hot and comfortable, and three mouthfuls of hot air are out in a row, in this cold winter day, it can be called a 'happy'.
It is not surprising that the pedestrians around see this, you can see such people every day, this is their famous delicacy in Zhuo County.
Even, there is a knowledgeable old man with a hoe, and said with a smile, "Later life, eat a bowl of noodles, and then have a cup of Yanyu tea from Tianqinglou, that is called enjoyment, but it is also the fun of a large family, few people can bear it, and they can only live it." ”
"What the old man said made my heart itch." Xiang Ji laughed, threw a fruit to the old man, turned around and walked towards the Azure Building opposite.
When I crossed the bulletin board, I saw a group of young people gathered there, looking at the dragon and tiger list with envy, eager to be on it one day.
"It's really not easy, our Pingtou people's family has finally risen another dragon and tiger master, now look at those declining and poor people are still not upright, and they look down on us all day long!"
"Yes, this upside down Kun rose from the grassroots, isn't it our example and example? It is a good thing to have such predecessors appear, which proves that we, the ordinary people, also have the opportunity to soar, although it is extremely rare, but it is better than nothing. ”
"I've always been unconvinced, the reason why nine out of ten on the Dragon and Tiger list are the descendants of the big families and sects is just that they eat well and live well and can practice martial arts without distractions, and the real talent may not be as good as our children from poor families!"
These young men carried swords in their arms, but they were not even the lowest level of rough iron, only better than burning sticks, and they were very plainly dressed, and they were obviously not of good origin.
But what is their background, what is their status, they are still young, they are vigorous, hot-blooded, impulsive, and have a temperament that disregards the sky and the earth, turning fiction into reality, which is three words.
Not convinced!
The same young generation, even if you know how many people in your generation are talented, what kind of realm they have reached, what kind of achievements they have achieved, and what amazing things they have done, after the initial shock and sigh, there is only a breath of breath in the chest, no one believes that they will do nothing in their lives, and many times life and death are not important, but they are most afraid of sighing.
"I'm only at this age, and I'm going to be a senior?"
Xiang Ji, who was passing by and heard the words, smiled in surprise when he heard the words, who would have thought that the people on the Dragon and Tiger List would really come to see for themselves, and by the way, he also took a whole bowl of noodles next to the pillar, which is far from the image of a master in the eyes of ordinary people.
It's just that what do others think and see, and what does it have to do with him?
It's not about living for others, it's true to be happy yourself.
Approaching the evening, there are already a lot of people in the Azure Building, Zhuo County is after all the governance of the entire Zhuo County, the center, so there are a lot of people in the rivers and lakes, some big families and local heroes also have, with guards, drinking and talking here, I can't say how much secret, but they are all strange news from the north and south of the river, all kinds of news are intertwined, there are true and false, there are a lot of anecdotes, especially like to talk about famous families, martial arts masters.
At this time, some people saw Xiao Er bring a young man wearing a hat and a big green robe to come up, and some people showed surprise, this age came into the Azure Building alone to eat and drink, but it was a rare thing.
Could it be that a rich young master sneaked out?
"What is famous for the tea, wine and food here?"
Xiang Ji went up to the second floor and sat down on an empty seat by the window, very interested in the smoke and rain tea that the old man had talked about.
He loves tea more than wine.
"Yes, the best tea in my Tianqing Building is Yanyu tea, and the best wine is moonlight brewing." Speaking of his own tea and wine, Xiao Er suddenly came to his senses, and his mouth was open, "The so-called azure and other smoke and rain, fishing for the moonlight and making wine, Youzhou dare not say, but this entire Zhuo County, the smoke and rain tea of my Tianqing Building is called the second, and no second one dares to call it the first." ”
Xiang Ji smiled, "Then bring a pot of smoke and rain tea, with some dried fruits." ”
A pot? Alone?
Xiao Er's eyes froze, their smoke and rain tea is sold by 'cup'! It's really the first time I've seen a person come to drink a pot, and some people in the rivers and lakes near a few tables shook their heads, it's really a fledgling chick, spending money like running water, and it's not distressing at all.
"Even though it's above, I can afford it." Xiang Ji's expression was calm, after the battle between Lousang Village and Wolf Creek Village, he searched for the bandits of the hungry wolf village, and shared the income of the government, and he had a lot of money.
"A pot is full of five cups, and it is worth five taels of silver."
As soon as Xiao Er's voice fell, he saw that there were five taels of silver in front of him, and the color was bright, and he immediately smiled, he was actually a rich kid who was well hidden, he picked it up and said respectfully, "Wait a minute, the little one will go to make tea, and ask the master to make it for you." ”
Fat sheep, or crouching tiger?
At this time, some nearby Jianghu guests glanced at each other, and their eyes lit up, and their expressions did not change, but their voices were unconsciously a little louder, and they glanced at them frequently.
Gradually, the sky was dark, and more and more pedestrians stepped into the building, but the clothes were different, and there was no roughness and noise like ordinary martial artists, quietly finding a corner to sit down, or occupying a table in groups, their eyes constantly wandering in the building, as if looking for something.
It wasn't until they caught a glimpse of the black wooden box carried by the figure by the window on the second floor that they bowed their heads slightly and exchanged words in a low voice.
After a while, there were more strangers coming in from outside the door, and Xiao Er also took the master and slowly approached with a teacup, attracting the attention of the surroundings along the way.
Looking at the master who came to pick up tea, Xiang Ji's heart moved, one or two silver cups, which is worth half a year's expenses of ordinary people, no wonder the old man outside the door would say that only big families can enjoy it.
"Childe, please!"
The master saluted, put the tray down, and took out six teacups in a row, one large and five small, the largest of which was used to wake up the tea.
I saw the little second-hand feet neatly put various petals in the teapot, poured a trace of tea and shook it quickly, the petals were pushed by the water to wash the wall of the cup, and after a while, the fragrance filled the entire pot.
At this time, the master poured all the boiling tea into the pot, so that the aroma melted into a furnace, and the lid precipitated in it and scattered into the tea, making it more fragrant and sweet.
Stimulating the fragrance of tea with floral fragrance is really a novelty... Xiang Ji watched the performance with interest, and the surrounding Jianghu guests also unconsciously cast their eyes, and the trace of aroma that just leaked out was too obvious and fascinating.
Then I saw the tea master holding the teapot, lightly lifting the wrist, elbow and wrist level, gently shaking to let the water flow straight down, like a waterfall falling into the pool, and then lifting the wrist to exert force, up and down to lift the water, repeat three times in a row, let the tea leaves turn in the water, the rolling aroma mixed with the faint white smoke steamed, fragrant and fragrant, such as in the fruit orchard, the autumn breeze is cool.
The so-called water sound three rings three light, waterline three thick and three thin, water flow three high and three low, pot flow three ups and downs, the tea brewing master obviously has a deep foundation, to achieve the same sound and light, the same thickness and fine, the same high and low, the same rise and fall of the refining technique.
And the tea leaves are as fine as silk, when they fall, there is really a bit of hazy taste of smoke and rain, and the white mist rises, and the room is full of fragrance, which makes many Jianghu guests squint their eyes, take a deep breath into their stomachs, and think sweet.
"A glass of wine in the red dust, a pot of tea for a thousand years, good kung fu."
Xiang Ji nodded approvingly, raised a cup of white jade teacup in front of him, the tea was not satisfied, only covered seventy percent, the leaf color was fresh, red and green, the soup color was orange and bright, and the fragrance of flowers and tea was perfectly integrated under hot water cooking, bringing an alternative refreshing enjoyment.
He sipped slightly, and the tea melted into his mouth, and suddenly felt a mint-like coolness spread from his mouth to his nose and throat, followed by the heat of the warm water, and when it flowed through his lips and teeth, the fragrance of flowers and leaves no longer burst out latrinately, boiling in his mouth.
Whew~ A mouthful, Xiang Ji exhaled lightly, nodded with satisfaction, and the guests around him were quite envious, and his eyes staring at the remaining four teacups were particularly hot.
"The sky is blue and the smoke and rain, the long streets and short alleys are full of aroma, and the good tea is worthy of its name."
At this moment, a voice sounded, the curtain of the Azure Building was lifted again, a slight wooden staff knock sounded, and a graceful vermilion figure stepped into the hall.
In an instant, dozens or hundreds of eyes converged, staring at the visitor in amazement and regret.
Stunning for her face, sorry for a black gauze ribbon covered her eyes, the girl stood with a flag, her eyes closed, I don't know whether she was born blind, or the cause of nurture, it is hard to imagine what kind of situation such a beautiful and moving face, if you open your eyes again.
"Is that her?" Xiang Ji paused slightly, she was the woman who told her fortunes and was still competing for opportunities in the Mingwang Temple.
I don't know what he got after winning the statue of Concubine Wumo?
Hey? Suddenly, the girl in the red dress holding the flag pinched her fingertips, and a few plum blossoms fell into her palm, as if she had found something, she climbed to the second floor, walked slowly, sat down gently in front of the red sandalwood table by the window, and entered Xiang Ji's seat.
"Childe, as I said at the beginning, my hexagram is correct and tight, and it is indeed very fateful, and we can meet here." The girl's eyelashes are very long, her eyes are closed under the black gauze ribbon, but she has not taken a wrong step, and her posture is charming and beautiful, the two temperaments are blended, and they are integrated, which makes people unable to take their eyes off.
Is this true blindness or selective blindness? Xiang Ji's expression was a little strange, and he waved his hand tentatively in front of him and said, "Isn't the little master really practicing the heart eye and hearing about the eight directions?" ”
The girl in the red dress smiled, selectively ignoring this sentence, her eyelashes trembled lightly under the black gauze, a pair of cherry lips were shining, and a pleasant sound was played in the blink of an eye, "Congratulations to Gongzi on entering the Dragon and Tiger List, ranking one hundred and eight." ”
"Congratulations, you should stay a few more days, and it won't be just one hundred and eight." Xiang Ji pushed his palm, and a cup of smoke and rain tea was already in front of the girl, and he took another sip, his eyebrows relaxed, and he gradually relaxed.
At the same time, the later cross-dressed pedestrians in the building also gradually looked over, obviously hearing this conversation, and approached intentionally or unintentionally.
"Brave and diligent, it seems that the son has a lot of confidence, and there have been many improvements and opportunities over this period of time." The girl in the red dress stretched out her hands, delicate and white, and after groping slightly on the table, she held the teacup in front of her with both hands, like a childish child holding a baby.
Xiang Ji didn't care, and said with a heroic smile, "The rivers and lakes are surfing the sand in the waves, and those who sink on the shore are all scum." ”
"Childe always has a sense of arrogance in his heart, he only cares about his own one-third of an acre, and others have a red face in front of him, but he doesn't just think about himself." The girl closed her eyes, her eyelashes trembled slightly, her nose was like jade, and her cherry lips sipped tea lightly, revealing a smile, even if she didn't get closer, she could smell a faint fragrance.
Xiang Ji was unmoved, and tapped on the table, "Do you know that there is a saying in the world that has always convinced me. ”
"Since the son is convinced, the slave family will not listen." The girl's red dress was lightly raised, and a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, looking a little smug and eccentric.
You? Xiang Ji's words were blocked, and he couldn't help but be stunned, why didn't this guy follow the routine?
Shouldn't it be the son who asks for a talk, and then he comes again, why don't you just listen to it?
"My mother said that the more men like to talk about the truth, the less they will abide by it, and what they think in their hearts is always the opposite, and they can't wait for the world's power, wealth and beauty to be in their arms." As if sensing Xiang Ji's pause, the girl grinned and joked.
Xiang Ji snorted lightly, "My master also said that the more beautiful a woman is, the more she will deceive people." ”
"That son, in your eyes, the slave family is that deceiving?" Who would have thought that the girl would turn her face slightly when she took the conversation, and her closed eyes trembled, as if she could see.
Xiang Ji paused slightly, skimmed his eyes, took a sip of smoke and rain tea, and said, "The heart is like a mirror, you can always take care of yourself, do you still need to ask me." ”
"Hey, according to what Gongzi said, then I must be a Bodhisattva, and I also gave you a chance at the beginning."
Seeing that he avoided talking about it, the girl performed a Buddhist ritual as if it were true or false, and talked about the temple of King Mingwang of Zhuojiang in a serious manner.
Xiang Ji nodded perfunctorily, and said in an angry long nasal voice, "Yes, you're still going to grab the opportunity with me." ”
"Childe, I got the statue of Da Zi Zaitian, I got the statue of Concubine Wumo, what is there, there should be no need to say much, this time we meet, it is fate, and it is inevitable." When it comes to chance, the woman in the red dress finally got her color up, and she showed her intentions.
Xiang Ji suddenly thought of the half token in the statue, and his eyes couldn't help flashing, "You don't have to go around in circles, just say what you mean." ”
Although the eyes of the woman in the red dress were covered by black gauze and closed, she seemed to have her eyes poked out to look at Xiang Ji, and said in a low voice, "That token is a key, second only to the certificate of the secret spell obtained by the little holy monk, and the White Horse Temple in the past, as well as the legendary ... If it is related to the Buddha soldiers! ”
Gods and Demons Martial Arts: Divine Palm!
In just a few words, it roared in Xiang Ji's heart like thunder, so that the four words 'Buddha soldiers related' in the back were almost ignored, if they were separated, they would naturally be earth-shattering, but when connected, they would have a completely different meaning, far from setting off the world's terrifying waves like the real gods and demons martial arts.
And at this moment, there were already a group of figures in the hall on the second floor, all of them were men who came in groups before, without making a sound, but they couldn't escape the induction of the girl in the red dress and Xiang Ji at all.
I can't hide it from ordinary people, but I can't hide it from them.
"Disaster Elimination Building, you are so bold!"
Xiang Ji glanced around lightly, and at some point, the building was depressed, and the guests who came in to drink and eat meat all looked over inexplicably.
When Wolf Creek Village destroyed the Hungry Wolf Village and destroyed the plan of the disaster elimination building, they naturally wanted to retaliate, even faster and more urgent than people thought.
Rumble!
When the last sentence was spoken, the air shook like water waves, good! Big! Target! Gall bladder! Child! These five words were one by one, getting higher and higher, like Huang Zhong Dalu, echoing in everyone's ears, and his momentum also changed, like a wild knife out of the sheath, and the feeling of sharpness came to his face.
Grievances, hatred, kill!
